Unchained is a pioneering initiative in New York City, offering a unique peer-to-peer support group through the Caribbean Equality Project. For nearly a decade, Unchained has been at the heart of our Healing Justice work, providing a empowering space to affirm the unique cultural experiences and identities of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Caribbean immigrants, those impacted by HIV, and survivors of family rejection, discrimination, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault  to heal and build community in NYC.

The Caribbean Equality Project empowers the marginalized voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people of Caribbean origin and descent through advocacy, community organizing, education, cultural, and social programming.

To date, CEP is the only educational-based agency serving the Caribbean-American LGBTQ community in New York City and is dedicated to cultivating a supportive and progressive Caribbean community free of violence, oppression, and discrimination. Our advocacy efforts are directed towards fostering community partnerships and greater family acceptance. Additionally, we act as a liaison to government agencies and elected officials with the collective vision of a society based on respect, inclusion, and equality, regardless of an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity within the Caribbean diaspora.
